I have an early MacPro aug 2006, anyone know it their is a work around that would let me install Mountain Lion

As the subject line says anyone know if I can install mountain Lion on this! seems a bit of a waste to just install lion if i can get ML on it



MacPro 1.1

Boot Rom MP11.005C.808

System Spec 2x2.66 D-C Intel xeon

Graphics ATI Radeon X1900 XT. 512mb

Mac OS X version 10.6.8

8Gb Memory 667Mhz ddr2



If not anyone have a link to purchase Lion I'm in the UK

Thanks Ray:)

ML is too advanced for a 2006 as noted. Much of the "cannot run on" is due to OSX taking advantage of features that are introduced by Intel instead of CPU design being driven by OSX. And that pace is just accelerating. Expect that 2008 will be abandoned by OSX more quickly than a refurbished unit from 2010 or 2011 from Apple's refurbished list.
